Two-headed rape protection button

ABSTRACT

(FIGS.  1, 2, 3 ) as the second belonging important thing to parts of women clothes i.e. trousers thanks to its form and possibility of choice of user function, it characterizes preventive protection from attempt of violent sexual act. At first, thanks to its extent different heads which are put into appropriate function of button shaft with procedure of ROTATING and in the way it is determined will the MOVE OF UNBUTTONING as an “action condition” for a violent sexual act is being made as a SIMPLE MOVEMENT it will demand a definite OPPOSITE ACTION OF TURNING OUT, which could be temporarily absolutely extended neutralized with body resistance in a form of minimum body movements. TWO-HEADED RAPE PROTECTION BUTTON presents a useful mechanical means which is for partly protection for a person from dificult injuries of body and essence, made from eventualy act of tyring a sexual violent attempt i.e. raping.

TEHNICAL FIELD

[0001] This invention refers to the button which by its primary functionof trousers keeper, in definite procedure, and all thanks to its form,with primary function to serve in tehnical condition like before asmeans for buttoning up and keeping trousers, it might have the secondaryfunction of partly protection of trying some kind of sexsual violation(e.g. rape).

[0002] Raping as an accomplished fact or as trying action is one of bigthreats to women as the most risky kind and it is big problem of today.All known forms of defence from trying sexsual attack up to now areattempt of selfdefence by using different means to rid of threat andphysical defence.

[0003] The solution of problem in relation “attacker-victim” iscontained in basic principle: using invention because of protection innormal conditions in short and simple procedure of button putting tosafe, preventive position, to make perfect protection for a person inthe way to complicate the opposite procedure of buttoning in abnormalconditions

[0004] Every person who the button belongs to, together with the “mainobject” i.e. truosers as main clothing, with person's position ofchoosing and the button's function has possibility of adaption her ownprotection in accordance with risk of life situations in which she is atthe moment or she will be as with risk of places which are in shortconnection with raping (like street, park, hitchhiking, driving by nightetc).

[0005] The way of protection's realizing is using the secondary functionof button, with its using, as opposed to knovn means of today, a simpleMOVEMENT of unbuttoning changes itself into an ACTION for which we needmuch bigger effort as different conditions.

BACKGROUND ART

[0006] The person who takes an action doesn't know a fact of technologytoday that similar means exist, which could have the additional functionbeside its basic function Buttons which are used in textile industrytoday have only one function: to serve only as “trouser's keepers” andthey have characteristics to put in function (to button up) with simplemovement, that provides, with position of trying violent attack and itsobviously defect—and they are out of function with simple movement(e.g.unbuttoned) and because of that the posibility of direct affectionto body is opened.

[0007] The patent document ES261738U describes a two-part button forarticles of clothing, consisting of a shaft and a body. The key of thetechnical solution contained in the patent claim is a screw junctionbetween the shaft and button body, which offers easy way of connectingand disconnecting the button, without the need for any sewing devices.Button shaft is constructed as a screw with a flat head and a body witha thread ending in a spike. Button body is spool-shaped, with a biggerupper disc making the head of the button, and a smaller lower discmaking its foot. They are connected with he neck cylindrical part of thebutton. There is a blind hole with a thread in the centre of the body ofthe button, the beginning of which is in the foot and the end in theneck cylindrical part of the button. Button body is linked to the shaftso that the spiked top of the shaft pierces the layer of the garment itis attached to, until the head of the shaft leans onto the pierced partof the garment. The button body, which presses the other side of thegarment layer with its foot, is screwed onto the button shaft piercedthrough the fabric.

[0008] The two-part button described fulfils the same purposes as anysingle-part button known, intended for quick connecting anddisconnecting two garment parts by slipping a circular button headthrough a straight nonextensible slit on the upper part of the garment.Slit length should be measured so that the circular head of the buttondescribed can pass through it. Some other methods of constructing andapplying two-part buttons not described in the patent documentES261738U.

DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION

[0009] From cognition that is serves like thing of second importance fortrousers as clothes and thanks to its form and procedure of makingusable, this invention with basic role of simple button in predicted wayof application get an additional characteristic by changing itself intopartly protectable means from trying of some violations.

[0010] Two-headed rape protection button have two functions that are theresult of two different procedures of usage:

[0011] 1) FIG. 1—the position of two-headed rape protection

[0012] button=A;

[0013] We can see its basic function to serve as the simple button fortrousers 6,7 by this way of usage. Two-headed button's body is put intoposition A with a rolling procedure: a big head 2 is closer to body; asmall head 1 further from body to button's shaft with thread 4 which isfixed with a pin 5 (fastener).

[0014] Small two-headed button's head 1 can be easily pushed through asmall hole 8 on trousers 7 which is provided clasping, while bigtwo-headed button's head 2 stay invisible because of folding overreinforced trouser's borders.

[0015] 2) FIG. 2—the position of two-headed rape protection

[0016] button=B;

[0017] We can see the secondary function of this invention by this wayof usage that by basic function gets a function of means for partlyprevention for sexsual violation.

[0018] By turning out two-headed rape protection button from primayposition A, button's body -3, together with heads 1 and 2 is separatedfrom button's shaft with thread 4, that serves for reinforcement onborder of trousers 6 fixsed with a pin or fastener 5 then small head 1will be pushed through a small hole 8 on trousers 7 and after that withhe repeated procedure of rotating into button's shaft 4, put togetherits basic and protective function. With this choice of function andpredicted procedure we have situation that big head 2 cannot be pushedby simple movement through an eyelet 8 on trousers 7 predicted forclasping and as that serves like button's shaft and like a button withfunction for protection. Because of the fact avery violent attempt ofturning out two-headed button from button's shaft 4 when it's in aposition B it demands obliged two hands usage in every situation ofviolence “one to one” and wider, the usage of this function can makepositive consequences in wiev of victim:

[0019] it presents sudden barrier to intended action;

[0020] it can be an important cause of eventual giving up of intentionfrom carrying out a violent saxsual act, even if hand are tied;

[0021] it enables to victim free hands and gives her possibility todefend with an active resistance , as with another handy means;

[0022] with active resistance it proceedes the time till the finaltwo-headed rape protection button putting out of function and possibleaction to body;

[0023] with assumption of existence of conscious situation, it enablesto victim that with minimum of movements of the whole body to neutralizea difference of physical strength, partly and resists to invention ofraper in trying to turn out the button as to “condition's action” fordoing a violent sexsual act.

[0024] The double-purpose button, according to the invention, to be usedas a conventional button for quick connecting and disconnecting twogarment parts and as a safety button for making connecting anddisconnecting of two garment parts more difficult, differs considerablein its design from the button described in the patent documentES261738U. According to the invention, a passing hole with a thread ismade in the centre of the button body, passing through the smaller head1, big head 2 and neck part 3. Button body can be screwed onto the shaft4, which is fastened with a pin 5 onto the lower part of the garment 6,with the big button head 2 turned towards the button shaft 4, as shownin FIG. 1, or with the smaller head 1 turned towards the button shaft 4,as shown in FIG. 2. The length of the straight nonextensible slit 8 inthe upper part of the garment 7 should be such as to allow the smallerhead of the button 1 to pass through the slit 8, while the bigger head 2cannot be passed through the slit 8. The passing hole with a thread inthe button body and dimensional relationship of the smaller and biggerhead and the slit in the upper part of the garment make thedouble-purpose button, described in this invention, principallydifferent from the single-purpose button described in the patentdocument ES261738U.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE WAY OF USAGE AND REALIZATION OF THE INVENTION

[0034] The way of realization of the invention becomes from itsfunctions and it's visivle from previous presentation of Register'spoints with reference to the way of usage of the invention as ifs statedwe can see this invention is temporarily mechanical and safety usefulmeans directed towards partly protection of personality from difficultinjuries of body and essence with a violent sexual act.

[0035] From cognition that its preventive function makes partlyconditions with the purpose of keeping this personal values becomes itspurpose, imposed as an unavoidable need as an important part of women'sclothes i.e. trousers.

[0036] Justification for its industrial production has multiple usage inonly one victim less, permanently dishonoured and spiritually destroyed.

1. Two-headed rape protection button consists of a spool-shaped buttonbody with a smaller head (1) and a bigger head (2), connected with aneck cylindrical part (3) and a cylindrical shaft (4) with outer threadthroughout its length, which is attached with a pin (5) to the lowerpart of the garment (6), characterised by the fact that, there is apassing hole made with an inner thread passing through the smaller head(1), neck part (3) and bigger head (2) of the button body, in thedirection of the central axis, matching the outer thread of thecylindrical shaft (4), by the fact that the smaller head (1) isconstructed so that it can be slipped through the straight nonextensibleslit (8) in the upper part of the garment (7) and the fact that thebigger head (2) is constructed so that it cannot be slipped through thesame nonextensible slit (8) in the upper part of the garment (7).
 2. Theapplication of the two-headed rape protection button, according to thepatent claim 1, is characterised by the fact that the button is used tomake an attachment between the lower part of the garment (6) and theupper part of the garment (7) that can easily be connected anddisconnected, so that the free smaller button body head (1) screwed ontothe shaft (4) with the bigger head (2) turned towards the lower part ofthe garment (6) in the course of connecting slips through the straightnonextensible slit (8) in the upper part of the garment (7), while indisconnecting it is pulled through the straight nonextensible slit (8)in the upper part of the garment (7).
 3. The application of thetwo-headed rape protection button, according to the patent claim 1 ischaracterised by the fact that the button is used to make connecting anddisconnecting between the lower part of the garment (6) and the upperpart of the garment (7) difficult, so that connecting is performed bypassing the smaller head (1), turned towards the shaft (4) through thestraight nonextensible slit (8) in the upper part of the garment (7) andscrewing the button body onto the shaft (4), until the smaller head (1)leans onto the lower part of the garment (6), while disconnecting isperformed by unscrewing the button body from the shaft (4) and pullingthe smaller head (1) out through the straight nonextensible slit (8) inthe upper part of the garment (7).
